Label an Animal Cell Use the following labels:cytoplasm ribosome nucleus lysosome centriole smooth ERgolgi body rough ER Nucleolus Nuclear membrane mitochondria cell membrane cytoplasm smooth ER nucleus rough ER lysosome golgi body centriole ribosome cell membrane mitochondria Nucleolus Nuclear membrane Label a Plant cell Use the following labels:cell wall nucleus vacuole golgi apparatus NucleolusNuclear membrane chloroplasts cell membrane smooth ERcytoplasm rough ER mitochondria smooth ER vacuole cytoplasm cell membrane chloroplasts golgi apparatus mitochondria rough ER nucleus cell wall Nucleolus Nuclear membrane Cell Organelles and their functions Enter the letter that matches the function of the organelles. Match (Enter the letter) Cell Organelle Organelle Function D Mitochondria A. You can find me in many different cells types and my role in each differs. I make lipids, phospholipids and steroids. However, my main job is to act like a highway system for the cell. Compared to my rough friends, I’m smooth because ribosomes don’t like me. H Cell Membrane B. I am the protein builder. My job is extremely important, as proteins are needed for many functions within the cell and the whole organism. As a construction guy I connect one amino acid at a time to build long protein chains. N Cytoplasm C. I am a network of structures responsible for the delivering proteins and other substances to the Golgi Apparatus. They call me rough because I’m surrounded by ribosomes. A Smooth ER D. I am the powerhouse of the cell. I am responsible for generating the cell’s energy. M Nucleus E. I am a packaging centre within the cell. I combine simple molecules to make complex molecules for packaging in vesicles. Sometimes these vesicles are transported out of the cell. I also look like a stack of pancakes! B Ribosomes F. I am the waste disposal system of the cell. I am responsible for the digestion and removal of macromolecules the cell no longer needs. I also breakdown the bacteria that enters the cell. I am the destroyer! K Centriole G. I am oval in shape and am home to a green substance called chlorophyll. I help trap sunlight to make food for my boss. While I am exclusive to plants, you will not find me in all plant cells. C Rough ER H. I keep the cell together and give it its shape. Some substances, such as water and oxygen, can pass through me but other substances cannot. I control what enters and leaves the cell. E Golgi Body I. I store water and dissolved substances within my walls. I am present in both animal and plant cells, however I’m much larger in the plant cell. F Lysosome J. I am the tough covering around plant cells. I give them strength and hold them in shape. I am made of a substance called cellulose. Water and dissolved substances can pass through me. You will not find me in an Animal cell. G Chloroplasts K. My main function is to help with cell division in animal cells. I help the formation of the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during cell division I Vacuole L. I'm located in the nucleus, and I make Ribosomes. After I make the ribosomes, the ribosomes leave the nucleus and travel to the cytoplasm. J Cell Wall M. I am the control centre of the cell. I contain DNA in the form of chromosomes and control what the cell does and when. L Nucleolus N. I am the jelly-like substance inside the cell. I contain many important substances that are needed for chemical reactions. I also have cytoskeleton within me. Pant cell Vs. Animal Cell Plant Cell cell wall chloroplast large vacuole Animal Cell centrioles small vacuoles Both Plant and Animal Cells cell membrane cytoplasm nuclear membrane nucleus nucleolus ribosomes rough ER Smooth ER golgi body or golgi apparatus lysosomes mitochondria
